HeadHunters for European PE

Hi, monkeys!
I am MBB consultant, starting my second analyst year.
To be honest I am quite new to PE recruiting topic, while based on what I read here networking with headhunters would be the first step in pursuing placement to PE in medium term.
There was already a good one on best HH for the US, thought there should be a knowledge on WSO regarding best PE HH in Europe. If there is a chance someone could highlight the ones that place into consultant friendly PEs- would be a dream.
Thank you in advance for help!
